to be fair, that wouldn’t be my pick at that pricepoint. That single-core performance would still be unmatched, but I would have something with better IO, more RAM, and more life in it.
the issue with this product is that it is not the right product for most people that discuss technology online, but it is still a great product for tons of people
Something a whole class below an i3, from 2019, just does not scream “winner” to me in any way. The same CPU has been deployed in cheap laptops… I see sub-$200 ones with this in it.
edit- > I just realized you meant the celeron and it all make sense now!
sorry!
this chip has better single thread performance than the mac pro m2 ultra that apple still sells.
there are in fact very little chips faster in single core than this chip
edit- I went and look for some geekbench and the neo cpu is way better than I expected compared with intel cheap cpus.
the best intel result in single core is the i9-14900ks which is lower than the a18 pro (~3200 vs~3400).
If you go to multithread and look for the closes match you need to check i7s or i9s from 11-13 gen (e.g. i7-11700f, that have 50% less score in single thread).
so I have no idea where you get the idea this chip is underpowered
Unlike the equivalent Windows 11 laptop with 32 GB of RAM and an Intel Celeron, where you’d get to experience that speed… Never. But sure, you can have all your apps frozen at once.

I have so many questions about how they’re selling a laptop with that much RAM, especially right now, and that little CPU.
what do you mean by little cpu? that SoC beats so many budget chromebooks an cheap laptops.

Ah, so your response was basically about the Macbook Neo CPU and not the Celeron one, right? That makes way more sense.
But it certainly sullies the name of “UltraBook,” which apparently that Celeron laptop is.
